In the video, Shahid asked his daughter who will win the match between Pakistan and Australia. Arwa replied by taking Pakistan’s name. Almost immediately she asked if Shaheen is in the Pakistan team for the ODI World Cup 2023?
Shahid replied, “Yes, Shaheen Afridi is also in the Pakistan team”. Arwa countered “Kyun hai (why is that)?”. The former cricketer responded, “We will ask this only when he does not perform well”. Pakistan started their ODI World Cup 2023 campaign on a brilliant note winning opening two games.
However, the Men in Green lost the plot against India before surrendering against Australia in Bengaluru few days later. O Monday, Babar Azam’s men will have another chance to bring their campaign back on track when they face Afghanistan at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.
For the fact, Shaheen is Pakistan’s highest wicket-taker in the ongoing World Cup with nine wickets frm four games. Interestingly, Shaheen is Shahid’s son-in-law.
